CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) – Carmel Police officers now have more space to do their work. The city hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday for an expansion of its current police department building on Range Line Road.

City officials say the project nearly triples the building, allowing for more space for the nearly 150 officers of CPD. The project also moves the city court and the clerk’s office, along with the programs they run, into the building.
